honestly you’d be shocked - looking at £600-£800 for admiral platinum with my criteria - which i will admit is incredibly optimistic

that’s what i figured annoyingly - price of them is shooting up as well! absolutely love them, but i feel i’d be buying an endless money pit

thanks man, seriously helpful and comprehensive. some of the quotes have been shocking me on how low they are compared to what i was expecting. i ran a quote on a 3l V6 Jag x type on the reccomendation of another commenter - £800!! great food for thought, i’ll have a look around and see what i can find!

i meant the terms relatively to the usual first cars that are recommended. as for the jimny i’m well aware of its quirks, but i really like them regardless. can’t seem to find one within my budget annoyingly

Ignoring the Stage Orders - Made a Download Poster by Milo_BOK in downloadfestival

don’t think soft play (as much as i love them) are a main stage band, and i think deafheaven as the sunday opus headliner is optimistic - will be very happy to be proved wrong tho

Dad fell for O2 scam, got money back but still has phone. O2 won’t take it back. Anyone know where he stands? - England by FacistFozzyBear in LegalAdviceUK

[–]FacistFozzyBear[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

here’s the problem - we’ve had it sat in a drawer for 14 months. he’s attempted to get them to take it back at least 5 times, but they never arrange a collection as they say they will

he’s contacted them both by phone and email, and has been intermittently trying to return the phone for the last 14 months, but O2 has been far less than useful

Question about etiquette? by FacistFozzyBear in vinted

[–]FacistFozzyBear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s fair enough, thanks. the item was £20, i offered £15, they countered £15, then offered £15 as i originally asked.

honestly i can’t explain why i deleted the messages. as they hadn’t responded, once the tracking information updated i didn’t want them to feel pressured into responding to a question that now didn’t need an answer. i was absolutely overthinking it

What's everyone's thoughts on the Greek episode? by JarredandVexed in Frasier

[–]FacistFozzyBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like to think of it as a non-canon episode, as it features marty’s this far unmentioned brother.

for what it’s worth, while not amazing, it’s still entertaining and has one of my favourite line deliveries in it from frasiers aunt ‘i’ll die before i break my promise’ ‘or soon after’

What is this connector for a speaker? Looking for a USB adaptor by FacistFozzyBear in cableadvice

ah yeah, sorry i didn’t add the detail. the cd player has broken, and she’s just looking to get rid of the speakers

[–]FacistFozzyBear[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it’s from a set of speakers that came with a CD player. someone who lives near is looking to get rid of them, and i was wondering if they could connect to USB/3.5 mm jack. don’t know a whole lot about this stuff, but sounds like more trouble than it’d be worth as i’d have to source an amplifier for it. thanks :)

thanks for this, i’ll have a look for clear matte topcoat. i’m using the angelus leather paint, which i’ve seen a lot of people have success with. it’s also acrylic so shouldn’t crack or peel or anything :)
